New lows for the thought and word police.

Yesterday in congress liberal Senators were living up to their record low 19% approval rating by wasting more time accomplishing nothing but a party agenda.

Harry Reid and Tom Tarkin almost teary eyed calling for a senate proposal to condemn Rush Limbaugh for saying the mainstream media interviews “phony soldiers”.

In perhaps the biggest abuse of power in recent history, the Democrat senate has dedicated its time to try and smear a private citizen for their own lack of respect for the military.

Limbaugh in response to a caller discussing the phony interviewed soldiers the media uses to make the war seem hopeless, said “the phony soldiers”.

A real story, a true phony soldier who gave a fake interview.

---

Limbaugh is referring to Jesse Macbeth, a soldier that lied in alternative media interviews that he and his unit routinely committed war crimes in Iraq.

Transcripts of the video were made in English and Arabic.

Jesse Macbeth was never in Iraq nor ever a soldier.

According to the U.S. Army, there is no record of Macbeth being a Ranger, or serving in a combat unit: he was discharged from the service after having been declared unfit or unsuitable for the Army, or both, before he could complete basic training.

Mcbeth was in boot camp for a total of 44 days before washing out. This phony soldier gave an account to the liberal media about how he witness American soldiers in Iraq burning and hanging Muslims inside of Mosques and killing innocent children and women while he was a ranger in Iraq.

Jesse McBeth never even made it out of boot camp.
His interview was phony and so was he.

His lies were then translated into Arabic across the world for the enemies of our “non-phony” real soldiers to read.

Among the claims this phony soldier made to the media includes:

He and other Rangers routinely executed children as part of the interrogations of their parents;

He personally killed almost 200 men, women, and children, many at close range, and most or all noncombatants;

He and other Rangers infiltrated a mosque, waited for about 200 worshipers to arrive and pray, slaughtered them with guns, ignited the bodies, hung them from the rafters, wrote anti-muslin graffiti on the walls, and left bodies in the streets in retribution for the March 31, 2004 mutilation, burning, and public display of American contractors’ bodies in Fallujah.

From Wikipedia

So when Limbaugh calls Jesse McBeth and others like him being used as poster children for anti-war liberals “phony” he is exactly correct.

Two days before Limbaugh made this reference to phony soldiers like Jesse McBeth, ABC News had done the same report but nobody even mentions that fact.

Here is the exact exchange in it’s’ entirety from Limbaugh’s show. You can decide if this is an attack on the honor of the entire military and this should mean days wasted by Democrat senators demanding apologies.
From CNN

Limbaugh’s comments in question came Wednesday when Limbaugh and a caller were discussing critics of the Iraq war:

“What’s really funny is, they [Iraq war critics] never talk to real soldiers,” the caller said. “They like to pull these soldiers that come up out of the blue and talk to the media.”

“The phony soldiers,” Limbaugh then said.

That is the entire exchange, that is what prompted Senator Tom Harkin to say, “maybe he is on drugs” on the senate floor.

This is what your highly paid senators from the Democrat party did yesterday while “earning” their paychecks. Here are the dramatic tear filled speeches of hypocrisy that took place yesterday in the senate.

“taking a stand against those who spew hate and impugn the integrity of our troops is a job that belongs to all of us,”
Harry Reid

“disgusting attack.”
Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts

“”In a single moment on his show, Limbaugh managed to question the patriotism of men and women in uniform who have put their lives on the line and many who died for his right to sit safely in his air-conditioned studio peddling hate,”
Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts

“‘Maybe Limbaugh was high on drugs again.”
Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA)

Now let’s look at some of the fine support for these same soldiers these liberal military hating senators have brought us in the past.

Here is what these same hypocrits say when not atacking private citizens.

“”This war is lost.”
Harry Reid, April 19, 2007

“The Iraqi war is hopeless and the situation in Iraq is same as it was in Vietnam.”
Harry Reid (Quoted by al Qaeda in a press release)

“Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid called Marine Gen. Peter Pace, the outgoing chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, “incompetent” ”
Politico

---

And here is the closing line from Harry Reid after his hypocrisy and lies on the senate floor:

“I think that it’s time again for us to stand up for our troops, as we have, I think here in the past, to give them every bit of support they deserve.”
Harry Reid Yesterday

The hypocrisy is almost laughable, if not for the fact that this liar and coward wasn’t running the senate.

Here is more about the military hating liberals that have spent a day trying to act concerned for the soldiers that love and support Mr. Limbaugh. Here are more statements of “respect” for the military from the same senators.

“One could say that Osama bin Laden and these non-nation-state fighters with religious purpose are very similar to those kind of atypical revolutionaries that helped to cast off the British crown.”
Marcy Kaptur

“….you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime–Pol Pot or others–that had no concern for human beings. Sadly, that is not the case. This was the action of Americans in the treatment of their prisoners.”
Dick Durbin Democrat Senator

“He’s (Osama bin Laden) been out in these countries for decades, building schools, building roads, building infrastructure, building day-care facilities, building health-care facilities, and these people are extremely grateful. We haven’t done that.”
Patty Murray- Democratic Senator Washington (speech to a high school class)

“”This war is lost.”
Harry Reid, April 19, 2007

“President Bush is a liar,”
Harry Reid

“Bush is an incompetent leader. In fact, he’s not a leader,”
Nancy Pelosi

“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,”
Democrat Senator Joseph Biden On Barack Obama

---

None of these comments have wasted an entire day of senate legislation.

This is why the current congress has the lowest American approval rating in the history of our country.

Don’t pretend Bush is the joke of the nation, or the war is the thing nobody agrees on.

The war progress and President bush both are over 30% approval ratings, while Harry Reid and the congress are at 19%.

Congress is the shame of the nation, and that’s the news that never seems to get out.

UPDATE: Limbaugh has challenged any of these Senators to come on his show and make these false accusation and lies on his radio show. Rush has the most widely listened to radio show in the nation which is also broadcast on Armed forces radio. Rush Pointed out that he was invited to be on armed forces radio after high demand from soldiers to play his show.

UPDATE: Limbaugh today offered to pay for half of any poll, with any polling institute that wants to survey who the troops feel is better for their morale, him or Congress, or Harry Reid. We will wait to see this challenge ignored by the useless senate.
